[Verse 1] You drew that mark in marker On the tile floor of this town Said "this side you stay quiet On that side You burn it down" I’ve been toeing at the border Like a kid testing the surf Heart beating in the hallway Name written in the dirt [Chorus] Cross the line Cross the line I’m done standing in the almost Done rehearsing all my lies Cross the line Cross the line If it ruins what we were Then it saves what’s left inside [Verse 2] You keep your words in order Color-coded on the shelf I keep mine in crumpled pockets Little notes to my old self You say "careful It gets messy" I say "yeah That’s kind of it" One step Then another ’Til the floor begins to split [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] One foot shaking One foot sure I’m right here on your edge If I stay I disappear If I jump I live instead [crescendo] [Chorus]
